IPhoto slidshow keeps pausing and other IPhoto Problems

We have created several slidshows with music and now they keep pausing every 15-20 seconds for a split second up to several seconds.
Further, it seems whenever I try to do something in IPhoto, whether it is cut and paste a title or moving through pictures in an event I get the "colorwheel" for a few seconds or many seconds. I am using IPhoto 11 version 9.3.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Mail app keeps crashing (and other related problems)

A few days ago, my Mail app began crashing on seemingly unrelated events, so I assume my data got corrupted. I won't explain all the scenarios because it's a complete mess. To keep it simple, I have only 2 accounts and they are both on Gmail, so no backups are needed. I'd like to try doing a complete wipe of all data that the Mail app uses and that should fix it.
What files/folders does Mail use? So far, I've found:
~/Library/Mail
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
I've also seen someone mention ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, but I don't have this file.
After deleting the above and creating my mail accounts, the crashes are back. The only possibilities I can think of are:
1. I haven't deleted EVERYTHING owned by Mail yet. <-- What other files/folders belong to the Mail app?
2. Mail is depending on something else on my system that is broken.
3. Mail app itself somehow became corrupted.
4. Something being synced from my Gmail is not properly being handled, resulting in a crash.
When this started happening (if it helps):
1 day after installing the OS X update 10.8.3 as well as MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update v1.1, my MBP froze as soon as I loaded League of Legends. This was followed by a reboot as I couldn't Cmd+Tab out of the game. I wasn't aware of the Force Close App shortcut at the time, so I used the power button. That was the only time this happened, and it has worked fine a few times after the updates were applied and also worked after the reboot following the freeze. Since that time, I have encountered another issue where just about all of my apps crashed simultaneously -- no 3D-accelerated apps were even running this time.
Since then, I've updated VirtualBox from 4.2.8 to 4.2.10 (seemed like something that could cause this weirdness as I always have a VM running) and have not had any problems except Mail crashing all the time.
This question is primarily about fully resetting the Mail app to clean settings/data, but any thoughts on what may have happened are also welcome

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Flash Player keeps pausing and buffering

I've never really had this problem before but today whenever I've tried to watch flash videos, it keeps pausing and buffering every few seconds. This seems to be a problem for me on any website except YouTube (YouTube still works fine). I've tried disabling hardware acceleration but that made no difference. I have a high speed cable modem so I don't see how it could have anything to do with my connection speed.
My operating system is Mac OS 10.5.8. My web browser is Firefox version 3.6.13, I also tried using Safari and was experiencing the same problem. The flash player version I'm using is MAC 10,2,152,26. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks a million.

o disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.

I can't get the movie to play right, it keeps pausing and skipping

I bought a movie on itunes a when i try to watch it keeps pausing and skipping. how do i fix this, so i can watch it

Check in iTunes - got to the store home page with the small house icon.
On the right side of teh screen under QuickLinks is there a Purchased section?
If so check if this had Movies/Films when you click it, if so hopefully purchases will show up. If you uncheck the box for HD downloads you may then be able to get the SD version.
Also in iTunes Preferences for the Store you can select preferred HD resolution of 720p or 1080p for downloading.
If you don't have a section for previous purchases contact iTunes support and tell them the issue.

When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing and making little clicking noises. Any ideas?

When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing for brief moments and making little clicking noises. Any ideas how to fix this?

Error -36 is an I/O error, which could indicate a damaged Catalog file, corrupted bitmap or (even worse) a dying HD.
I would recommend to run Disk Utility and perform a 'Verify disk'.
If lots of errors are found, try to save as much files as possible to another disk.
Then perform a 'Repair disk'. Repairing a catalog file or bitmap might cause loss of files, that's why I recommend to verify first and save the files, before repairing.

"No Sound Blaster card detected.." and other driver problem SOLUTION

Hi. I promised to myself that I wont give up and I looked for a solution to all SB Li've! 5. OEM (0220 and others) problem not detecting the card by the new drivers ! AND HERE IT IS !! I tested it and works almost PERFECTLY !!! Also for peaple who HAVE the original drivers but have problem with EAX in such games like GTA San Andreas THIS IS THE SOLUTION FOR YOU !! I hope creative doesn't mind me posting this:http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/Enter here and download the drivers !! TRY IT !! Any questions please write ! Sory but i think this is important inough to start a new topic.. Hell yeah now I can play San Andreas even when it's raining (in game ofkozz :P) ... Oh and PS. For Win XP users read this first : http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/xp.php?language=en I used the second method (on the bottom of the page) Renaming the files and installing normally. You will be asked to insert the winXP CD couse it wont be able to find some files but you can just SEARCH for them on the system and you can find them (In c:\windows\system32 and system32\drivers). Then after reboot you go to Device Manager and update drivers for Sound Blaster Li've Series (or Multimedia audio device) mark "Don't look for drivers.." And choose KX from the list. Thats all I thinkPs 2 - set the mixer for your card couse basically it's set for 5. dolby surround. If you have 2 Speakers or headphones do this: run the KX mixer (tray) and click Speaker setting (the icon with "?") set it to 2. and in Surround set COPY. Then mark the "Use subwoofer output" and "Use bass redirection". Everything should work well. There I think I helped :PMessage Edited by Cubix on 07-09-2005 08:26 PM

Gee, I think it's catching on. I was VERY dissapointed when I wasted my money on the SB Li've! 24bit PCI. That card apparently isn't a Li've! card, it's got a different chipset. It performs horribly with games and there are no other drivers to use for it. Not even the Audigy 2 hack and the kX audo project will work with it. This is like the **bleep** child of all Sound Blasters. No support, no reasonable performance, and horrible drivers. I just joined this forum today and this is the 5th topic related to SB Li've! 24 bit issues that I've seen yet. And what does creative take into initiati've about it's Nothing. They ignore us and expect us to pay 20+ dollars US on an Audigy 2 ZS.Message Edited by BoRaiChu on -03-2005 07:33 PM

Why does my music keep pausing and playing on my macbook Pro every time i put my headphones in?

Everytime i plug my headphones in my music starts playing and pausing, and i don't press the buttons on the headphones or the on mac.

Your topic states Macbook Pro yet your system profile confirms you have a Mac Pro which is a desktop computer. Which one are you having issues with?
Which os version are you using?
Which app is playing your music?

I believe it's because Windows which don't have a visible parent frame are, by default, not focusable. Therefore they're never activated or focused.
For the window to become focusable it needs a visible parent. Have a look at Window.isFocusableWindow method's Javadoc for information about how this works.
There's also no point trying to force the window to be focusable using setFocusableWindowState - it still won't work without the visible parent frame.
What's the problem with JPopupMenu? It seems unlikely that you'll write something better than that.
Alternatively, you could try using an undecorated JDialog. Personally, I'd try resolving your differences with JPopupMenu!
Hope this helps.

Video keeps pausing and rebuffering

Video keeps stopping and starting .

Please provide more information. Are you trying to watch videos locally or online? (it sounds like you are online). What site are you viewing the videos on? Please be as detailed as possible.

Keeping speakers and other magnetic stuff near iMac.

So I'm a bit of an old schooler and I think everyone remembers the time when magnets used to damage the CRT and other sutff like that, today not quite that much at lest that i what I think. So i have a question i have a Philips TV that i use it as monitor for my PC and i have a question are the little speakers in the TV able to do any damage to the iMac i have a gap between then that is like 3 fingers wide. Ticture down to describe the scenario better.
The red circle is the TV Speaker.
Thanks a lot

You dont have to worry about that any more. For example you have speakers in the bottom of your imac that are very similar to the ones in that tv.

Dupes and other small problems

I originally did not want to use iPhoto after buying my new SD800. I wanted to use the Canon software because of the way it allows you to save photos from dates into specific folders. However, I had problems getting the software installed (read, it wouldn't) so now I am using iPhoto.
I have a few videos on my camera (.avi's) and I used Image Capture to bring everything onto my harddrive. I opened iPhoto and it asked if I wanted to import, which I did. It imported everything up till the videos and then crashed. I reopened iPhoto and it wanted to import again, and I did. This time I canceled the import before it reached the videos and found that there were dupes everywhere.
Now iPhoto keeps telling me that there are 345 photos to import (which there aren't). I know that it will crash again when it reaches the videos but don't want to hide them or put them on a different harddrive. Any suggestions?
Also, is there any way to import my pictures/videos the way the Canon software does, by creating a sub-folder with the date and throwing all relevant photos in there? I keep all of my photos on external harddrives and cannot imagine doing this manually.
I am a little disappointed because I have heard so much about how easy things are on the Mac, but being a more technical person I like my data in places that are organized by me and not the software.
Is there any way to clear out iPhoto and start over? I can just hook it up to my externals and import all over again (till it hits videos it doesn't like)
Any ideas on organizing (for easy backup) photos on a Mac would be a great help!
Thanks!

Of course, you know what I'm going to say...
I want something that allows me to set the folder structure that will be used and doesn't try to manipulate things in transfer.
Well, that's iPhoto.
If you're coming from a Windows Image Viewing background, it's easy to misunderstand what iPhoto is. It's not an image viewer, but a photo organiser. That is, it's a database, with a built-in image viewer, version control and lightweight editing.
By default, when you import pics into iPhoto they are imported into the iPhoto Library Folder. Then you manipulate them in the iPhoto Window - that is, create your folder structure, albums, smart albums, books calendars etc. All in the iPhoto Window - and iPhoto keeps track of the files for you. In essence, iPhoto says, why bother with file management, do the fun part and let the application do the dull bit. Also, another advantage is this: It's easy to create a date based folder structure in the Finder for yourself - Folder for each month etc. But what if you also want a 'Best of...' folder? Now you've got duplication, endless duplication. In iPhoto albums are "virtual", so that a single pic can be in 50 albums with no duplication.
If you want to, you can create your own folder structure and not copy the files into the iPhoto Library Folder (iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced: Uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library Folder...). I don't recommend this for a couple of reasons: it makes importing and deleting pics multi-stage operations, plus, things like migrating to a new computer or moving things around becomes more complicated too. And to no specific advantage.
But how can I find my pics, I hear you wonder: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Plus, the Film Rolls (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly to the Film Rolls in the iPhoto Library Folder / Originals folder.
There's only a single catch in all of this. Like any database, iphoto requires that you manipulate the data via the iPhoto Library Window, rather than a back door like the Finder. The good news is that everything you need to do can be done via the iPhoto Window - and I do mean everything.
If you want to consider another app, have a look at Graphic Converter. It has an excellent file browser, and is a really good editor. You will use Image Capture to get your pics onto the Mac - or if you use a USB card reader instead of your Canon, it will just mount on the desktop and you can drag and drop the pics to whereever you want them.
Have a think about iPhoto. It really is a very good and safe app. And you'll find there's a very supportive community here to help.

Every time I click a folder arrow to open...finder reframes my window view. And other finder problems

When using the finder windows sorted either by name or date modifed, when I click a folder arrow, the window reframes to the center (or some other spot) that means I need to scroll back to the folder. When I change an item in a folder when sorted by date modfied, it of course moves to the top, but my window view stays centered where I am, and I have to scroll to the top to find the folder I'm working on. Both situations have the feel of "what I'm working on just dissappeared". I have become used to it, but it is one of the things in Lion that I hate. Is there a workaround...a way to keep the finder window view where it is when I click the open folder arrow, or to reframe to the top if I make a folder change and have the sort set by date modifed?
Mail behaves in the same manner where the view of read and unread wildly scrolls itself when clicking an unread mail. I have tamed this by creating a smart mailbox of unread e-mail, but it seems to be some system wide preference for an unknown sort view that I would like to fix.
Also, when I choose the sort by label option in the finder window, all the red pops to the top, but then all the other labels are scattered and not sorted as a for instance...
Perhaps this is fixed in Mountain Lion?
Thanks for any help.
I am preparing to upgrade to Mountain Lion this weekend, but if I have some system problem, I would like to resolve it before I go forward.

IWeb won't open and other related problems ....

I saw other posts regarding this but not sure if there is a fix
that works.
I worked in iWeb all day yesterday. This morning, I cannot open iWeb 08.
When I try, it says "iweb can't open "xxxx.html" file"
(this is a file I created yesterday)
So I searched and i found the Domain.sites2 file in the
User/library/application support/... folder,
but when i double click to open i get this message:
Cannot open file «~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2».
And I don't see any of the new pages i built in yesterday anywhere.
I was saving my work every 10 minutes yesterday while i worked,
however I did not publish the pages I built, I just saved them.
I do not have a backup,(my bad)
can someone please advise?
thanks!

Unless you choose otherwise, iWeb builds all your sites on one domain file.
For those of us who have more than one or two sites its more convenient to have your sites on separate domain files so that you can load them into iWeb and publish them separately.
See...
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
You'll see that you can manage multiple domain files using a third party application or do it manually.
I use the latter method.
Splitting domain files is not a brilliant idea but most people seem to have no problems.
In future, I would advise you to start new sites from a new, blank domain file to avoid corruption.
See....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1365344&tstart=0
http://11mystics.com/2007/09/08/how-do-you-manage-multiple-domain-files-for-iweb /
Starting new sites on a blank domain file and keeping them in separate folders makes life a lot simpler if you do get corruption in any one.

Lumia 620 and other storage problem

Hi,
I own a L620 and I'm having a lot of problems with the "Other" storage. Currenty it is occupying 2GB. I have reflash it and hard reset it a lot of times but it always keep growing...
Is there any fix? What can I do?
I'm thinking in but another mobile phone because of this...

Have you tried copying many files to the intrenal storage? this should make the phone release space from other storage and once freed it will remain so. After this you can simply remove the files you copied.
Otherwise a reset would be the only thing I can think of. This is an OS issue and it's MSFT who will (and should) be fixing this.

Missing files using the same library on two different macs and other minor problems

Hi everybody,
I'm working on a long documentary and I'm new to FCPX (coming from Avid NC and Edius)...I have and external HD where I stored all the media I'm working with (about 1/2T - 1000 clips)...The library (about 100gb) is stored on the internal drive of my iMac and into the iCloud.
Yesterday, I received my new MacBook and today I tried to work on it. I followed this steps: I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with, I put it on the same folder (movies) it was stored on my iMac and I connected my external HD with all the media...Results? All the clips where gone and the red missing file warning was all over the place.
FIRST QUESTION: How can I work on both computer overcoming this missing files problem? I know I should have put the library on the same external drive but It was a move aiming to
SUB QUESTION 1:
I went back to my iMac and everything worked fine except for a warning about one of my events (the exclamation point) as you can see from this pic:
I tried to relink the file...but no files to be linked popped up in the relink file window....HOW CAN I KNOW what's wrong in that event in order to fix it?
SUB QUESTION 2:
I checked the Library info and - as you can see in the pic below - there are 43mb of media in my internal HD...is this maybe the problem preventing me from working on different macs? I tried to consolidate everything to the external HD but still the 43mb thing persist in being on the internal HD. How can I find where exactly it is located? How can I move it to the external HD given that the consolidate option isn't working?
Thank you in advance for your help

1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.
